At the prompting of my good friend Jan Pietrzak (who gave this to me as a present) I started reading this while waiting for rain storms to pass while the Artist-in-residence at the Petrified Forest. As a veteran artist of some 43 years, I thought I would not get much out of it, but to my delightful surprise I found it insightful and illuminating. ASMOF I think it should be required reading for the official artist license test.
